2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 - First Ride
Fly-By-Wire Throttle,Variable-Length Intake Tracts And Other Electronic Trickery Make The '08 R6 The Most Potent Yet
Clutch/Transmission
The close-ratio six-speed transmission is unchanged from '07, as is the back-torquelimiting slipper clutch. The effectiveness of the slipper clutch is even more pronounced in '08, however, thanks to a new anti-engine-braking ECU circuit. This system keeps the throttle butterflies cracked open slightly during high-rpm deceleration, further reducing engine braking for improved chassis stability during aggressive corner entries.
